• Swimming pool and sun terrace
• Historic dining halls with original fireplaces
• Zero neighbors and 250+ days of sunshine a year
The entire estate dates back to 100 BC, and sits on protected natural reserves just outside the Eternal City.

It’s been sitting on the market for over 3 years and no one’s telling the story right.
This place could be Rome’s next destination wedding hot spot.

This freaking hotel is for sale. Let's do the math. It's an Italian hotel with 10 rooms, a tiny church, a watchtower, and more than five hectares of beautiful farmland. And the revenue opportunities are extremely easy. But first, let's talk about what makes it special. Some elements of this property were built 100 BC as part of the Roman Empire. This watchtower, for example, is already twice the age of The United States. And the location is absolute gold as well. It's thirty minutes away from Rome, fifteen minutes from the airport, and only twelve minutes away from the beach. And some of you might be thinking, well, this isn't Tuscany. And I completely agree because it's actually better. The nature is the same, but best save yourself a three hours drive. So what's the price? It's currently listed at €7,500,000 Yes. That's steep for a 10 room hotel, but this has already been for sale for more than three years. So my gut feeling is that you're able to better close to 5,000,000 with a proper negotiation. So is it a cash cow right now? Definitely not. My guess is that they're doing around €300,000 per year. So how do we turn this into a cash cow? First of all, go all in on weddings. With this location, more than two hundred and fifty days of sunshine per year and an actual chapel on-site, this place could easily be landing 25 to 30 weddings per year at around 40 ks each. Right now they have no Instagram, no website push and no wedding packages available. This is such a missed revenue opportunity. So create 10 landings pages for couples looking for weddings in Italy and partner up with every single wedding planner in the region. Number two is add more rooms. The property is almost 1,100 square meters with only 10 hotel rooms. On the floor plans, there seem to be a lot of unused potential. So make sure to add at least another five hotel rooms on the property. And next up, cabins. You have almost two hectares of floor space, so make sure to add another five beautiful cabins on this area. Number three is a lipstick upgrade of the rooms. Currently, the rooms are quite rustic, but they are in need of a renovation. This will help to get them to the four star level and increase your room's revenue with at least 40%. Number four is website and Instagram. Just take a look at this beauty. This one hasn't been touched since, I guess, 2005. Make sure to invest another 10 ks to a solid branding and a beautiful website. Also, they don't have an Instagram page. Come on, guys. With a property like this, Instagram could easily become your main revenue channel. Invest in this and you will see your revenue increase with another 20%. And last but not least, I gotta say it. We need to fix this entrance. This is not how you want to enter your dream wedding hamlet. Make these changes and you could easily hit a revenue of around €2,000,000 per year, But that will require a substantial renovation. So who is ready to create Italy's next wedding destination?
